Howdy all.  My current installation involves calling SA from MIMEDefang 
which in turn is called from Sendmail.  Enough background info.

I'm currently calling spamassassin from a procmail recipe on a spamtrap
account.  The recipe does various bits of munging including sed calls to
strip sensitive spamtrap info as well as calling spamassassin -d.  The
recipe also reports spam via 'pyzor report', reports spam via
'spammassassin -r.'  Finally after all the various munging and reporting 
is done it forwards a copy to Bob the NANAS Bot and to the FTC.

I'm seeing an enormous amount of CPU time being spent on the two 
spamassassin calls (-d and -r) whenever I get hit with a large spam run 
(say for example right this very second).  The CPU load hits 15 quickly 
and frequently reaches far higher than that.  I'm forcing Sendmail to 
queue at 15 and temp fail at something higher that I can't recall off the 
top of my head.

Is there a less expensive way to strip the SA report and message changes 
from messages?  I thought about writing the SA report munging up in Sed 
but never implemented it.  If someone wants to see my procmailrc I'd be 
glad to send them the sanitized version.  The only problem with it at 
present is bounces.  I haven't been able to figure out how to filter out 
incoming bounces so that they aren't forwarded on.  FROM_DAEMON and 
FROM_MAILER just don't seem to be working.

Thanks
 Justin
